Balaji

I'm a
8 year-old
Boy from Chennai

Balaji lives with his parents in an urban area. The father works hard but his meagre income is far from enough to meet all of his family’s requirements. The mother is resourceful at trying to make most of little, but cannot do much with her husband’s low income. The child was desperately in need of help with clothing, food and educational expenses and we were happy to welcome Balaji into our “family”. Your sponsorship will mean much to his.
